AL Underdog of the Month

Texas is playing such horrid baseball, they have even lost 5-of-7 with Yu Darvish (-5 units). In his last five starts David Phelps ERA and WHIP of 2.40 and 1.13 is the same WHIP as Darvish with an ERA 1.50 better in that period. His ERA is 2.16 better than Darvish in the last three starts.

In their last five games New York has a slugging percentage edge of .108 over Texas. NY is 7-3 their last 10, 5-2 as a puppy. Rangers are 13-38 in their last 51 overall. They are a disgraceful 8-24 their last 32 at home, 8-26 home to teams with a winning record, 3-13 versus a starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher.
